I'm glad more people are in here now. It gets much, much worse than this.
The post below literally says "if you have the password, you can generate the key and open the file.
The real exploit is that you don't need the password or the key to open a file.
That is how serious this is. It is really bad. It is not a joke.
Some of you are joining now and seeing how bad the weak KDF is that they're using. It gets much worse.
The salt is not a random number. It is a side channel that leaks information about the passphrase. This reduces the entropy of the search space, so that it now becomes possible to brute force.
The REAL exploit is what's going on with memory management. The ENGINE plugin literally modifies the code during the compile, so what you think it's doing isn't what's being done. It's one of the most insane things I've ever seen in my life. You can see it if you compile and then decompile the code.
It's basically the same thing they did with Heartbleed, but on steroids. Same exact design pattern. Memory management is so thoroughly skewered that you might as well think of the entire thing as a secret data structure.
If you really want to see what is happening here, just go look in the random number generator. It is not random. They do all sorts of stuff in the entropy pool to make it look like the time, date, process id, etc are all involved. Then they clear the buffer in a call to ENGINE (!!) which throws all of that out, pops stuff off of the secret data structure.
There are race conditions in the entropy pool. There are actually even comments telling you this.
There is actually a comment in the entropy pool saying something like, "we are not ambitious to provide *information-theoretic* randomness." Or, translated into plain English, "I am a contractor who is trying to warn people the random number generator is not random."
There are times when they even have comments in the code telling people not to worry about valgrind complaining that uninitialized memory is being used to seed the bufer. Again, translated into plain English, "I am a contractor, and you should definitely worry about this."
There is, I swear to god, a comment right in the decrypt function that basically says "PADDING ORACLE HERE." It is insane. They didn't even take it out.
The whole thing is ruined. If you are just tuning in now, read the writeup posted before. Seriously, you are in for a hell of a ride.

You can actually get the full key.
This is how it works.
first half of the key = MD5(password+salt)
second half of the key = first half + MD5(first half+password+salt)
Let's prove this step by step.
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -p -in 000svgLA.7z -out test.aes -salt -k p@ssword
salt=596C09F4AFCC2B9D
key=DD73502243215E39A0CDDE52CF5AB975EAA8F8DA936B35650308113E42DF8862
iv =322ACE8546EBA994AF17A1BC5DC999B1
We wan't to get the key value. Let's do it.
1.) Save the salt:
perl -e 'print pack "H*", "596C09F4AFCC2B9D"' > salt
2.) Save the password:
echo -n p@ssword > keyhalf
3.) Add them (password+salt):
cat salt >> keyhalf
4.) Get the first half of the key:
md5sum keyhalf
dd73502243215e39a0cdde52cf5ab975 keyhalf
Compare to the full key:
DD73502243215E39A0CDDE52CF5AB975 EAA8F8DA936B35650308113E42DF8862
Checks out. So now we need the rest.
We can easily get it with the information we have so far since we now know that it's = first half + MD5(first half+password+salt)
5.) Save the part of the key we already have:
perl -e 'print pack "H*", "DD73502243215E39A0CDDE52CF5AB975"' > key
echo -n p@ssword > password
cat key > keysecond
6.) Add the password:
cat password >> keysecond
7.) Add the salt:
cat salt >> keysecond
8.) Get the second half of the key:
md5sum keysecond
eaa8f8da936b35650308113e42df8862 keysecond
Compare to second half:
EAA8F8DA936B35650308113E42DF8862
In step 4.) we got dd73502243215e39a0cdde52cf5ab975
In step 8.) we got eaa8f8da936b35650308113e42df8862
dd73502243215e39a0cdde52cf5ab975 eaa8f8da936b35650308113e42df8862
DD73502243215E39A0CDDE52CF5AB975 EAA8F8DA936B35650308113E42DF8862
We have the full key. We only used MD5 and didn't write a single line of code.
Note that this the current version of OpenSSL.
There is no patch that can fix the files that have already been encrypted.
RIP OpenSSL.

else
OPENSSL_cleanse(str, str_len);
The memcpy() routine is explicitly not safe if the source and destination buffers overlap. This can happen when the EVP_enc_null() cipher is used to decrypt longer text than BUF_OFFSET bytes because of this code in bio_enc.c:
EVP_CipherUpdate(&(ctx->cipher),
(unsigned char *)ctx->buf, &ctx->buf_len,
(unsigned char *)&(ctx->buf[BUF_OFFSET]), i);
It's the overwrite of the ctx->buf memory that is the problem.
Saw this on a SUSE 12 SP2 machine. It is not necessarily repeatable on other machines. Valgrind also complained.

>PBKDF1(PASSWORD, SALT) = MD5(PASSWORD || SALT), where || is concatenation
^^There is an idea that this decimates the entropy to 2^128, assuming each of the first 128 passphrases hashes to a unique MD5. However, it's tricky, because you have to find the right preimage to compute the full key, as well as the IV. However, if you have some way to identify that you have the first 128 bits right, then finding collisions for it is easy, since a collision attack on MD5 exists. Either way, this is pretty weak and it's crazy that it's there.
> EVP_BytesToKey uses an outrageously weak KDF (basically MD5 salted and iterated a couple times), and drops the entropy down to 128 bits at least.
>The process by which the password and salt are turned into the key and IV is not documented, but a look at the source code shows that it calls the OpenSSL-specific EVP_BytesToKey() function, which uses a custom key derivation function with some repeated hashing. This is a non-standard and not-well vetted construct (!) which relies on the MD5 hash function of dubious reputation (!!); that function can be changed on the command-line with the undocumented -md flag (!!!); the "iteration count" is set by the enc command to 1 and cannot be changed (!!!!). This means that the first 16 bytes of the key will be equal to MD5(password||salt), and that's it.

If people are saying the first block of the insurance files contains "runs of zeros," then here's what that looks like.
Suppose that AES(block, key) encrypts a block with a key. Then the first block looks like the following equation:
AES(IV,key) ^ ciphertext = plaintext
Where ^ is XOR.
Now: if the plaintext were ALL zeros, that would mean
AES(IV,key) ^ ciphertext = 0000000…
which means
AES(IV,key) = ciphertext
But, the IV and key are generated in completely deterministic fashion from the key and the salt. And we have the salt. So that first function really becomes
F(passphrase) = ciphertext
for a certain F.

------------------------------------------------------
Alright - the holidays are over. We laughed, we cried, we did lots of math. Time to finish the job and bring it all home.
In this thread, we will start to make this concrete with OpenSSL.
Applying some of the ideas here, what we really want to do with OpenSSL is decrypt a file with a random key (or passphrase), and then let it fail. But, unfortunately, OpenSSL leaks "information" about why it fails (padding oracle, etc). So, if you test a bunch of random passwords, you can collect this leaked information, and use it to narrow down the search space (!!!!) for the next round of tests.
THUS, YOU NEVER HAVE TO BRUTE FORCE THE ENTIRE SEARCH SPACE. That is the big idea.
You instead brute force a small random "representative sample" of the search space, gather the leaked information as a set of experimental "results," and adjust your probability distribution (and as a result, the entropy) accordingly, use that to rule out HUGE sections of the search space in the next round of tests, then repeat and iterate towards a solution.
Rather than try to re-derive the math here from scratch, let's try a concrete example. The following 7z on archive.org is about 5 MB, completely public domain under CC0, and contains SVGs of all the Tic-Tac-Toe games (as used on Wikipedia):
Details: https://archive.org/details/000svgLA.7z
Direct Download: https://archive.org/download/000svgLA.7z/000svgLA.7z
Now, so that we can ALL have the same file, simply do the following commands:
$ wget https://archive.org/download/000svgLA.7z/000svgLA.7z
...
$ openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:p@ssword -S 2F140A2A667109B6 -p -in 000svgLA.7z -out testfile.aes
salt=2F140A2A667109B6
key=460EBADE3CCC9AD2E6D223EB119435F947CC802044295EA90793AEC981AE3183

And now we're all on the same page here. The last line is just to confirm you have the right file.
So, now we want to take all of this stuff and do some tests. Here's three sample "Bad Decrypts" with the password set to "WRONG_PASSWORD":
